>>139630799>>139630691They have to craft an entirely new/different gimmick for the Amazon show. Everything regarding the Stig (his appearance, all the jokes relating to him etc) belong to the BBC. They aren't allowed to use him in any shape or form that fans recognize.

>>139631137The whole point of the Stig is the persona of a quiet racing driver who has no common sense about anything but driving. Who the Stig actually is underneath doesn't fucking matter. Or what, do you think they paid an actual racer to wear the suit when they were just doing silly shit like having the Stig walk around confused with taking public transport? Who they hire as the Stig never really mattered.

I can't believe I have to explain this to you. Did you even watch the show?

>>139631397Because again, the rights for the Stig and WHAT IT ENTAILS belong to BBC, so it depends on how much BBC is willing to sic their lawyers. What I "honestly think" don't matter. It's what BBC's lawyers think that matter. If they think it's too similar, they have the grounds to bitch - this is what you don't seem to get.

>>139628779Time becomes nonlinear for the duration of the race, making meaningful observation impossible as both outcomes occur simultaneously, only returning to normal when Stig and Takumi shake hands at the finish line.

>>139634898>>139635946Not him but you cant down a fellow rider man. We're all on the same road enjoying the same thing. Besides, many shouldn't ever get on anything bigger than 600cc's, just like many people shouldn't drive cars with more than 300hp (or drive at all for that matter).

>>139636251I would probably consider myself a car guy and even I don't either.All you need to know is how to drive, how a car works, what you have driven and what it's like to drive. Everything else is irrelevant and you can pick up along the way. Bench racing and arguing about stats sheets isn't what being "into" cars is about. It's about driving, enjoying the sensation of driving, wanting to get better at driving and going places. Don't waste your energy memorizing the hamburger ring lap times of the latest production cars, instead spend it looking into your car and fixing it. Look at cars you'd like to own or drive or work on. Watch videos of people driving cars, read reviews of said cars. And most of all just get out and drive.

>>139639497I watch it because of all the weird shit they do.Especially the time they went from South to North Vietnam and had to carry all kinds of shit with them on crappy bikes.And the time they made a V8 blender.

>>139643032>>We had no idea where the Stig went, as he disappeared as soon as we landed>>queue to the Stig in a car playing loud eurobeateven better if he drives in an 86 on the mountain that inspired the home track of takumi

I use a 650 because insurance is cheaper and overall price to performance jump isn't worth it. Plus I'm faster than most things on the road but can't fully open it up without the dangers of cars, people, debris, all that. A 650cc does all I need and then some for good measure.

>>139656229Suzuki is an actual bike manufacturer but the anime was making fun of people that claim everything Suzuki makes is the next coming of Christ. Some of their flashier bikes can end up looking fucking awful but fanboys/fangirls will still lust over them.

>>139659175That's an old gixer turned ATV for as little money as possible. I tried to salvage as much as I could from the local scrap yard and built this. only thing I spent money on were coil packs and one voltage regulator which was like 30 bucks in total.

I'll teach myself to ride the bike like a champ first and since I doubt they accept otherdimensional licenses in 2D realm, I'll wait 'till I get there to take the exam and brilliantly pass it with honors so the girls in the club will be all "kakui!!" and I will brag everything was possible thanks to my loyal Suzuki.

>>139664056It's just Photoshop, screenshots and layer masks for when something doesn't fit. Anyone can do that. Things only get fun when it's a moving stitch and you have to transform or redraw part of the image.

>>139664341Not sure what you mean by middle part. If the top layer is aligned with the bottom layer but there's a sudden transition in brightness or a strange row of pixels like in many TV releases, I just put a layer mask on the top layer. On that mask I go with a bit soft brush along the bottom edge of the layer so it blends together with the layer underneath.

Just experiment with layer masks and find out what they do. Basically the brightness of a pixel on the layer mask determines the opacity of that pixel on the actual layer.

>>139664396>Where's the BMW girl?>>139664541>The Principal.And to add, the Principal basically gave up trying to maintain her own Bike, and just throw money at the problem. She is reasonably well off now and can hire other people to give her what she wants. Pay to Win basically.

>>139664800Not just that, some of the girls were straight-up recycled from his futa works. I wonder if the bike companies sponsoring the anime are aware of it.

>>139664863Not that guy, but are you implying /o/ isn't about motorcycles as well? Because you don't even need to browse it to know that.Still, calm down mate. A little of that won't kill the threads, plus they're still related, even if not completely.

>>139665236>No. It's the truth. It lures you in with promises of cool bike races, only to let you down.What? No, this isn't about RACING, it's about BIKES. Most people who own bikes would never actually race with them, racing is a specific subset of bike riders.

>>139665236>It lures you in with promises of cool bike racesEssentially>I heard there was a show about motorcycles and didn't bother doing any research or even look at the PVs so I just assumed it was racingIt's your own fault.

>>139656229Historically speaking, I think the two brands competed against each other in races. In the early days of motorcycle racing Honda was dominant worldwide, but I know there was a time where some master-tuner who used to work for Honda switched sides to Suzuki after being let go. Team Suzuki ended up winning some big race, and there's probably some hatred towards the brand.

>>139665502Most car owners don't race their car either. Yet shows like Initial D and Wangan Midnight exists. It would be boring if Initial D was about Takumi being a high school kid. Or if Wangan Midnight was about Akio working 3 jobs to be able to afford maintenance on his cars.>>139665579There are better shows that offers this.>>139665625Clearly. I just expected something good and different. Fuck me, right?

>>139665723>Most car owners don't race their car either. Yet shows like Initial D and Wangan Midnight exists.And that's because those shows are about racing. You are confusing motor enthusiasts with racers, they are not equivalent. The author is deliberately trying to portray a spectrum of different people who own and ride bikes, each doing so for a different reason and wanting different things out of their bikes. If you think that is boring then you don't really care about bike culture.

>>139665723>I just expected something good and different. Fuck me, right?Yes actually. Considering how the PVs, preview material, and even the OVA which was released before the show even aired had displayed what kind of show it would be, it's certainly the fault of your own expectations.

>>139665829This. It's a manga made by a bike otaku who just loves bikes and futa.

People should look up what they're watching first (PVs, source material) or at least go in without expecting something specific because you're guaranteed to be let down. There's tons of manga about racing vehicles and there's tons about other shit like selling used cars. Learn to take it easy.
